Magnific upscales images and adds detail that was not in the original, guided by a creativity slider. It can rescue a small source image to a usable size, and it can also invent faces and textures that were never there. The second property is a feature for artists and a liability for anything factual.
Who it is for
A digital artist or photographer restoring or enlarging work who understands the output is synthetic.
Key features
- Up to 16x upscaling with detail synthesis
- Creativity and resemblance sliders
- Prompt-guided detail addition
- Batch processing
- API access
Where it falls short
The creativity slider invents detail, which is the point and the risk: faces, text and product labels come back plausible and wrong.
Pricing
No free tier. Pricing is per credit and credits are consumed per upscale, with higher multipliers costing more. It is expensive relative to a conventional upscaler, so only pay for it when you actually want the invented detail.
